We've been challenged many times before to have weekly dates as spouses for as long as I can remember. Last year we made a resolution to have a monthly date and that seemed pretty do-able. However, about half way through the year it fizzled to an every now and again commitment.
Well, this being something important to both of us (not only because we are SUPPOSED to do it but because we actually ENJOY being together as a couple) we thought we'd try again this year.
One day I stumbled across an awesome idea on a blog. http://www.simplymodernmom.com/2009/12/project-52-date-nights/
52 dates project. It sounded simple, do-able, and fun. It has a print out pledge you and your spouse can sign with rules that apply. (Again, simple. No kids, no frumpy clothes, etc.) One thing I love about it is it gave us a place to start. It is also things you can do at home - appetizer night, game night. There is plenty of flexibility for those of us that are last minute planners, like I said it just gave us a place to start.
We're going to take the challenge and I'll try to remember to post fun things we've come up with once a month or so. So, like she asks on her blog... are you in?

Have yet to go to the site, but Kyle and I do the dating thing 2-4 times a month. Most of the time it is just us going shopping together, but that is the best time for us to talk. some times we go just for a drink at sonic or walk the canyon rim when the weather is nice. It is nice that Hailee is old enough to baby sit the kids for us. We try for dinner once a month, and the Temple. Good luck it is the best!!!!!!!!
Sounds great! I am adding that site to our blog so I can check it regularly. Cute former posts too! You're too fast for me (or is it this computer?).
In response to former post: Waf got Brian Regan tix for Christmas/ anniversary (show's in march), and I'm so terrified I'm going to wet my pants! I'll be 7 months then!
